A fresh round of leaks suggest that Intel is preparing to launch a new lineup of its NUC (Next Unit of Computing) mini PCs in 2019, fitting these small-form-factor computers with some of its latest hardware and making them formidable little performers.

We’ve been very impressed with Intel’s NUC devices in the past, especially this year’s entry, the Intel Hades Canyon NUC. They are bare-bone devices that need storage, memory and an operating system installed, making them flexible devices that can be easily upgraded, and recent entries can handle gaming as well.

According to Wccftech, which has reported on existence of this new line of NUC devices, there will be two new lineups, a Coffee Lake-H Refresh “Ghost Canyon X” NUC line and a Comet Lake-U “Frost Canyon” NUC.

The Ghost Canyon X lineup will apparently feature 9th generation Core processors, up to the flagship Core i9 processor. The NUC9i9QNX Ghost Canyon X features an eight-core, 16-thread Core i9 CPU, and will support a single PCIe x16 slot and come with three HDMI 2.0a ports, two Thunderbolt 3, eight USB ports, two M.2 ports (PCIe Gen 3 x4) and Optane memory support.
